Custom built by a respected, energy conscious team using quality materials and techniques on the leading edge still today, this home uses just $704 a year for heat and hot water, compared to an average of $2482 for similar sized homes listed in the area. The open concept living area is the heart of the home, flanked by 2 bedroom/bathroom wings; each room is lit by large, south facing windows framing lovely views of the rolling fields and distant woods. Fueled by a Vermont Castings woodstove and solar radiant heat, with propane back-up, the super insulated and sealed shell with 12-inch thick walls is ventilated for fresh air and moisture control. Situated about a mile from the southern Waterville I-95 exit and about 70 minutes from Portland, Waterville is home to Colby College and a wealth of cultural and recreational activities. Includes a root/cheese cellar and cheese room with many other potential uses. Group showing Saturday, June 15, 1-3.
